Do you know if the Rockshox twist lock remote will work with the DTSwiss shock?
I already have the fork

That could be difficult, the DTSwiss shocks have a 3 position lockout lever

What are you guys using for cable dampener? Is the bike noisy without anything?

I did experience quite a bit of rattling with no dampener.  Since everything was installed already I decided to try the pool noodle hack. I cut a section that was about 80% of the downtube length and then cut that in to thirds lengthwise for an appropriate thickness.  To install I just had to drop the fork and push/bend the foam into the frame.  It has worked flawlessly, even added some to my gravel frame as well.  I don't have a scale handy but can't imagine the weight was significant, and all for $5 with enough left for at least 4 other bikes.

Was wondering if the twistloc pulled enough cable to move the shock all the way from open<->closed without stopping on the middle setting.  After fork only has open and closed.

Lighter & Cheaper !

No it's almost 10 times heavier!  It's 15g for 10m, not 150g

Thanks. I'll try the pool noodle hack.

Shipping to the US was over $40 for the options posted. Ali option was cheap but heavier.

Ouch Thanks for the correction!

I can't tell anymore where i read about it, but i think the DT Swiss dual position system works with 5.5 mm cable pull for each step, so 10 mm cable pull from RS twistloc might not give a full lockout, but close to. I think i'll try that out when the frame has arrived (it's getting painted at the moment).

Meanwhile, I'm not too sure where the remote lockout cable is routed out of the frame, as with the DT Swiss shock the cable stopper would be oriented right down in the direction of the BB. Could get "interesting" to connect the cable when it is routed from below the bottle holder screws... Or am i just thinking the wrong way?

340 miles so far. Still works.

My intuition tells me the lockout for the SidLuxe will be available AFTER most of the 2021 complete bikes are sold (that are stocked with the SidLuxe). The service instructions include swapping the lockout and they did this to share with shops and hopefully us. My advice would be to talk with your Sram dealer in person and get one 'ordered'.

The matte finish on the bare frame is not as durable as the 3k weave of my Flyxii.

Hi!
What have you put in order to carry two bottles?

Is there any option to put a 150mm dropper? I wanted to buy OneUp, but it's out of stock and won't be on sale soon. Has anyone tried the new Fox Transfer 2021?
Or should I just buy 125mm?

[QuentinLL]

I wanted to buy OneUp, but it's out of stock and won't be on sale soon.

You can add a mail alert on their website. 1 week ago I had an alert 31.6 / 150mm was back in stock.
Just need to wait.

I am 83cm leg length, according to my calculation 150mm OneUp v2 was the only 150mm dropper that I can use.

It depends on your legs length and the brand you buy.
For instance here is a dimension guide for a Reverb C1: https://www.sram.com/globalassets/document-hierarchy/frame-fit-specifications/rockshox/gen0000000006075-rev-a-reverb-stealth-c1-seatpost-specifications.pdf

Oneup 150-31.6 total length is 420mm (including actuator). According to my measurements it fits, but will only be on sale at the end of January.
Fox transfer got shorter this year. But it looks like it's too long anyway(
I need to measure everything again and look at the Fox instructions.

It's a pity that I can't buy OneUp now, a week ago I saw it on sale on US website, paid for it, but 150mm immediately ran out of stock and they made me a refund

I have a 150mm Crank Brothers Highline on my medium frame.

These look good and have a price, I think they would be good for you because of the measures it has.
